Abstract :

Caseous Lymphadenitis (CLA), which is caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, is an important infectious disease in many parts of the world. This article describes the pathogenesis, epidemiology, and clinical manifestations of the disease in goats and sheep. We review the incidence and epidemiological factors of the disease by region, noting the high economic impact through direct costs of veterinary care and through losses in production and trade. Furthermore, the existing management measures and the need for partnerships in the control process. These include the review of the current literature to create awareness on the need to undertake further research to help reduce the effects of CLA on the livestock industry globally.
